Basic theory of TCM Yu Qi MD (China)

Basic theory of Chinese Medicine

1. Yin and Yang

This is the Yin-yang symbol or Taijitu, with black representing yin and white
representing yang. It is a symbol that reflects the inescapably intertwined duality of all
things in nature, a common theme in Taoism. No quality is independent of its opposite,
nor so pure that it does not contain its opposite in a diminished form: these concepts
are depicted by the vague division between black and white, the flowing boundary
between the two, and the smaller circles within the large regions.
